Naomi's+Letter

Dear Aunt Alice,

Hello it is Naomi, your niece. I need immediate help now because I have been in a crisis. Now I am in the home of Grace Darling on an island in Scotland by the North Sea recovering from a terrible accident. Here is what happened. I was on the SS Forfarshire and then our ship drifted into a storm. Our captain and everyone else on the ship knew that we were in bad trouble. Then suddenly the ship’s engine stopped and the ship was breaking apart. We all were devastated to hear that the ship had only one small life boat, nine people crammed into the one small life boat. I was not one of those people. The battered ship broke apart and I found myself in the harsh freezing sea clinging on to the slippery wet rocks trying to survive. After those terrifying moments Grace and her father came in a life boat and brought most of us on the rocks to their house. Grace Darling and her family live in a lighthouse. I was so relieved; my heart was racing very fast. I have many bruises and cuts that need to be healed fast. I have no belongings or clothes, just the ones that I am wearing now. By any chance can you pick me up and bring me to your house because I have no way to get home you are my only hope! I am thinking about you and I hope that you are thinking about me too. I just wanted to inform you about this tragedy. I am also very tired and I want to come home to my own house. See you when I get back home!

Sincerely,

Naomi

Dear Naomi,

It is your Aunt Alice. I was very happy when I got your letter in my mailbox. I have not heard from you in a long time. However, when I read it I was in great misery. I'm just happy that you are safe.

It sounds like that ship was not prepared for embark. It is not the captin's fault that you got caught in a storm but they should have brought more lifeboats. That is very irresponsible. Also the captin should've checked the engine well before they set sail.

Grace and her father sound like very caring people. Of course you can come to my house. I'll pick you up at noon tomarrow. I'd be more than happy to have you over. Are you seriously hurt in any way because if you are then we can go to the doctor or hospital if you want. I will see you very sooon.

Sincirely,

Aunt Alice
